Last night, I had an experience with five strangers that profoundly changed my self-perspective. While that may sound hyperbolic (and perhaps a little dirty) to most people, anyone that has experienced the Spillit project live knows what I’m talking about. This unique production group, inspired by a podcast called The Moth, provides individuals the chance to open up in a safe space and tell personal stories.

Sometimes people spill their wisdom in a humorous way and sometimes they share a secret life experience. Universally, they all reveal a raw part of themselves that the average world never sees. It’s a captivating experience for the listeners and (probably) a cathartic release for the storytellers. Altogether, it comes out to the best $10 I’ve spent in a very long time.
